Qi Jingtong was waiting anxiously outside. It's been a long time, but there's still no news. Is it because His Majesty doesn't want to see me, or is it because the father-in-law didn't give me the money and didn't report it on purpose?
This is not a random guess. After all, when Liu Jin was in power during the Zhengde period, such things were not uncommon.
"Oh, I should have known that I had brought some money here. I took the salary I just received home and forgot to bring it back. What should I do? I should not be able to see Your Majesty."
Qi Jingtong paced back and forth anxiously. He had no choice but to wait. He couldn't just go back home. That would be a huge loss. By the way, would General Wang still want him when he returned?
"Is General Qi here?"
"Yes, your majesty has summoned me. I don't have anything good with me. Please don't dislike it, father-in-law." After rummaging for a long time, Qi Jingtong finally found two taels of silver.
Huang Jin smiled and waved his hand, "General Qi, you're welcome. I don't dare to accept your money. Your Majesty is going to have a meal. Let me take you over directly to have lunch with His Majesty. This is a blessing that no one else can have."
Ah, General Qi needs to be careful."
When Qi Jingtong heard that the emperor wanted to invite him to have lunch with him, his heart skipped a beat. What a gift this was.
"Well, um, my father-in-law, do you have any taboos about meeting the emperor?" Although we have met him once, the last time was an informal meeting, and this time it is a formal meeting, so I am definitely nervous.
Huang Jin smiled and said softly: "There is no big taboo. You just need to be more careful. Your Majesty doesn't have any airs. Be more easy-going when eating. Your Majesty doesn't often invite people to dinner. I hope General Qi will not forget it in the future."
Miscellaneous family."
"Definitely, definitely. You haven't asked me about your father-in-law's name yet?" As someone who works in the officialdom, he knows how to read people's emotions, and the eunuchs in the palace are the ones who cannot be offended. Otherwise, what would you do if they secretly say bad things about you in front of the emperor?
, even if you have the words to speak, you won’t be able to explain clearly.
"Huang Jin, don't be nervous. Just answer whatever His Majesty says." Huang Jin smiled and felt quite honest. He didn't know where His Majesty found the person.
Qi Jingtong was shocked. He had done all the homework. It was said that the most favored eunuchs around His Majesty were Lu Fang, Huang Jin and Chen Hong. He did not expect that this was Huang Jin.
"Your Majesty, General Qi is here." Huang Jin leaned forward slightly, allowing Lin Yu to see Qi Jingtong behind him.
"The humble minister Qi Jingtong pays homage to Your Majesty. Your Majesty will live forever."
"Come on, get up, get on the table quickly, the dishes and chopsticks are ready for you, hiss~" Lin Yu was peeling a large lobster. It had just been taken out of the pot and was still a little hot.
"Master, please slow down and call the imperial doctor quickly." Huang Jin quickly stepped forward to check. Damn it, you can't serve the food so hot next time.
"Go and die, what kind of doctor should I tell you about this? Pour me a glass of water. Why are you standing there? Hurry up. You probably haven't eaten yet. I have something to tell you. Let's chat while eating." Lin
Yu glanced at Qi Jingtong, why did he feel so naive? It should be fine, right?
Qi Jingtong was a little at a loss. Your Majesty was a little too enthusiastic and it was a bit unbearable. He glanced at Huang Jin, who also winked at him quickly.
Qi Jingtong then walked to the dining table with confidence, found his seat and sat down.
"Master, please eat slowly. There is a lot. If you like it, I will ask them to make it again." Seeing Lin Yu eating his mouth full, Huang Jin couldn't smile from ear to ear. His Majesty's satisfaction was the greatest for him.
of appreciation.
"Go and ask the imperial kitchen to get some more elbows or something. I feel a little hungry." These two days have been really unusual. I feel that these are not enough to eat, so I need to get something real.
"Your Majesty, this..." The amount of these dishes is actually a lot. If there are more, nothing will happen, right?
"Go if I ask you to go, and get more medicine and food. It's been a bit abnormal these past two days." Lin Yu glanced at him, grumbling, because he had lacked education before.
"No." Huang Jin can't help it. The emperor likes to eat. What should we do? Let's do it.
"You can eat whatever you want. Don't be polite to me. I'll deal with two of you first and then I'll tell you. I'm starving to death." Lin Yu has no time to talk to this guy for the time being. He is starving to death. Let's give him some comfort first.
Qi Jingtong smelled the tempting aroma of the food on the dining table and watched the emperor feasting on it. He couldn't help but swallow. It looked delicious, but he was a little nervous to eat it. He was so tangled.
Naturally, Lin Yu won't care whether Qi Jingtong eats or not. He can't care about it himself, so he still has time to care about you?
Finally, Lin Yu killed a whole sheep, ate a large pork knuckle, and then poured the medicinal food into his stomach. He was barely five minutes full. Only then did he have time to observe Qi Jingtong.
"Okay, okay, you can eat if you want. What's the matter with swallowing saliva? I won't poison you. Just eat when you have to." Seeing a thick-browed man who wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat, he made
Lin Yu couldn't help laughing, it was quite fun.
"It's okay, Your Majesty, I'm not hungry." Qi Jingtong swallowed a big mouthful of saliva again, it looked delicious.
Lin Yu rolled his eyes, "Yes, you want to eat or not, if you don't want to eat, I will eat more."
"Do you know what I mean by calling you here?" He picked up another piece of kidney. It tasted sweet and crispy. I didn't know how to make it, but it tasted really good.
"At your Majesty's disposal." Qi Jingtong's little heart was pounding. It's coming. What kind of official position does Your Majesty want to give himself? It seems that he mentioned it last time, so he didn't know how to do it.
"Have you ever worked in the Shenji Camp before?" Lin Yu tapped his fingers on the table, hesitating a little. He didn't study it before, but then he checked it out. Good guy, the three camps are so awesome, but it's a pity that they are in Tumubao.
The battle was abandoned.
Of course, not only the three major battalions, but also the entire Ming Dynasty's Wuxun Group were destroyed. Otherwise, how could the civil service group be so overwhelming as it is now, with no opponents at all?
"Yes." Qi Jingtong also felt His Majesty's hesitation, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only wait for His Majesty's answer with some anxiety.
"Well, how do you feel about the three major camps now compared to before?" Lin Yu had no joy or sadness on his face. He didn't care. Anyway, if this guy doesn't work, he will go to Wang Yangming to trouble him. Who is afraid of bringing another person over?
Who, who calls me the emperor?
"I don't dare to deceive Your Majesty. The three major battalions today are much worse than they were during Taizu's time. In many cases, it's not because we don't work hard but..." Qi Jingtong didn't finish.
The battalion is no longer as pure as before. The senior officers actually have civilian officials, which they can't bear, and sometimes their military pay is withheld.
The elite must still be the elite, but if you really want to say how elite it is, it's hard to say. Many of the brothers in it entered with enthusiasm and then came out cold.
